Trailing by 28 points in the Central Coast Section Division I final last season, Milpitas scored four unanswered touchdowns to tie the score.

But San Benito scored the game's final touchdown to win the championship 35-28.

Friday night at Rabobank Stadium in Salinas, the Trojans get an opportunity to even the score as they meet San Benito again for the Division I championship.

"They wanted it more than we did last year," Milpitas running back Squally Canada said. "This year it's a completely different team."

The Trojans reached the final with one-sided wins over Homestead and Piedmont Hills. In the two games, Milpitas (10-2) scored 107 points.

San Benito (7-5) scored 99 points in its playoff wins over Independence and top-seeded Alvarez. "They're good, a great team," Milpitas coach Kelly King said. "We're just hoping to get out there and play hard and challenge them."

The Trojans bounced back after closing the regular season with a loss at Los Gatos.

"We turned the ball over and didn't have a great night," King said. "Los Gatos played well. We just try to keep moving forward."
